Beach bar and restaurant

Ambience & Sea in Kühlungsborn

Today we’re visiting Kühlungsborn! More precisely, the western part of Kühlungsborn. Why the west? More on that later.
We’re standing on the beach promenade and have arranged to meet Carlo. Carlo is a fourth-generation showman. Until 2019, as is customary in his industry, he toured Germany with various amusement rides and food stalls.

After the pandemic brought life on the road to a standstill, his business partner came up with the idea of setting up a Ferris wheel on the Kühlungsborn promenade. Since 2021, they have operated the Ambiente & Meer bistro and restaurant, as well as the row of food and drink establishments along the promenade.

Carlo - Operations Manager

“Once someone has ordered and drunk this, they’ll definitely order a second one too.”

Carlo had been looking for a place where he could “sell something directly to customers.” Many of his colleagues regularly vacationed in Kühlungsborn. Local restaurateurs told him that the western part of town needed to be revitalized when it came to gastronomy and culinary offerings. Said and done.

The season started as early as April 1, and Carlo and his team will remain on site until January 10, 2023. To offer their guests good products without much effort, Carlo did some research and came across kukkis. He had already seen them in other restaurants.

Carlo’s thought when he first tried kukki: “That’s really, really unusual—a Cocktail in a bottle—but it’s genuinely delicious right down to the last sip and, of course, very easy to handle.”

When asked how the decision to sell kukki on the promenade came about, he tells us:
,,We are not a permanent food-service establishment, so this is easier for us. For a regular Cocktail, you have to prepare far too much, and since we have limited space, we need something compact.“

A good point, we think—but how are the frozen Cocktails received by customers?

,,Once someone orders one and drinks it, they will definitely order a second one as well.“

Carlo seems visibly pleased with his decision to offer his customers kukki Cocktails, which makes us at least just as happy.
